And none of that increase was Bernie’s vaunted “revolution” bringing new young voters into the party.
Most of it was driven by Biden voters.

Ok another lazy person here is another site for you. Now this wasnt my posting, I was surprised to see it posted here so I looked it up.
I’d say many were driven by “other moderate candidates to Biden” voters. As you could see in the SC result, Biden won fewer votes than Hillary in 2016 despite higher turnout. The increase seems to split between many other candidates. I’ve been thinking from the start that many candidates were in it to collect votes/expand the base and would hand their votes to the eventual nominee.
It wasnt anyone but Trump who drove this turnout.

She’s my first choice as VP. Otherwise, CIA (payback time!)

There you go, again, rigging the election with voter turnout and democracy and stuff.

Your comment is so full of shit that I can smell it through the tubes on the interwebs.

Here is more good news for you. Suburban women have been so driven to vote since Spanky was appointed that they have in recent elections caused as much as a 20 point gap in favor of dems overall among women in some states. VA once again has been highlighting this phenomenon. If Spanky loses women by even 10 points in a general he will be toast. Women make up the largest and most reliable voting block in the country.

I forgot to say childish.
Just my sampling of lots of MSM commentary on the results. I could be wrong to believe them, but I don’t think so. Steve Kornacki did a good job on MSNBC of tracking the support throughout the evening as well.

Yeah, well, they can’t all be Tulsi Gabbard.

Somebody else posted it but you are defending it. So do so. Your Forbes article stated that “…he [Biden] now opposes cuts and supports expanding Social Security.”

I saw that last night. I also saw earlier Rachel Maddow with all but steam coming out of her ears at the reports of how many polling places had been closed, how many machines were allocated to some polling places, and the like.
I’m tired of people not voting, I’m tired of hearing “why vote, they’re all the same”, and it infuriates me. There are people in this country that have had many obstacles placed in their way preventing them from voting, and there have been people who died to ensure our right to vote, all the way back to the Revolutionary War. To me the simplest response to JFK’s “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” is go vote. Make a decision. Show up and be counted.

And all the Bernie peeps I know–and I know a lot, lived most of my life in VT–are the latter, not the former. I wouldn’t even know where to go to find a Bernie Bro other than anonymous ones on the internet.
St Petersburg?

Kids say the darndest things.
From the Daily Beast:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is deciding whether to continue her presidential campaign, an aide told The Daily Beast on Wednesday. “Elizabeth is talking to her team to assess the path forward,” the aide said. The development comes after the latest round of disappointing finishes on Super Tuesday where Warren not only failed to win a single contest, she came in third in her home state of Massachusetts , behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
That kind of leak usually precedes the official announcement of a “suspension,” but we’ll see. Her main problem right now, as I understand it, is that she doesn’t have cash reserves and can’t maintain her current campaign overhead.
I think she’d probably prefer to stay in the race until the convention, just to pick up a few more delegates for a voice in the party platform. But running out of cash could turn out the lights in her campaign very soon.

She will soon face the wrath of the angry Berners regardless of what she does:
Stays in race: “You’re hurting Bernie! Drop out!”
Drops and endorses Biden: “Sell out!”
Drops and endorses no-one: “Endorse Bernie now, you corporatist!”
Drops and endorses Bernie: “You should have dropped out months ago and supported Bernie!”

Let me check the weather.
Look a couple of you responded to a post, not my post, about this and asked for a citation. I said it is eazy to google. Instead of googling it yourselves you came back with piss and vinager.
You have a couple of citations now. What you do with them is up to you.
Yeah, this might be a reason she’d stay in the race as long as possible, just to avoid the pressure to endorse Bernie if she drops out.
There doesn’t seem to be much love lost between the two, regardless of their similar policy positions. If she winds down her campaign operation and holds out long enough for Biden to get the delegates he needs to win, a Warren endorsement becomes moot.
